Make the premiership weekends more interesting, challenge your friends & family, while supporting the soccer club.

If you haven’t played before, it’s easy. Each game week you will be texted the fixture list, you pick the Premiership team that you think will win their game and text back your selection. If your team wins their game, you are through to the next round. You can’t pick the same team twice. If they lose or draw, then you are out. This continues until the Last Man or Woman is left standing. As always, your support is greatly appreciated.

Congratulations to Margaret O’Brien who has won the first prize of €500. The other 4 players remaining fell today as West Ham only managed a draw. We’re sure that Margaret will be buying a drink for Mame Biram Diouf, whose 84th minute winner for Stoke ensured that she scooped the first prize. Well done Margaret. Thanks to everyone who supported the club by taking part in the competition. The next edition will start in the coming weeks.

Then there were 5. We said farewell to Liam Lynch at the weekend due to Liverpool only managing a draw with Norwich. The remaining players through to round 7 are Margaret O’Brien, Kathleen O’Sullivan, Dave Murray, Brian O’Riordan & Martin Guilfoyle.
